Welcome screen — Fibonacci spiral variants
Five ways to nest the same ~80 words into a golden spiral of squares. The 8:5 frame is already ≈φ, so the squares peel cleanly. What changes between them: which atom owns the biggest square, which way the spiral curls, and how deep it cuts before content gets too small. Faint arc shows the spiral path. Wireframe only.
A · Classic — header hero, curls from left
Header owns the golden square; how → new → AI → tip → icon spiral inward clockwise. Pure, but inner squares get cramped.

B · Mirrored — hero on the right
Same spiral, flipped: welcome square anchors the right, spiral unwinds leftward. Puts the reading climax where the eye exits.

C · Top-first — wide header band
First cut is horizontal: header takes a full-width top band, then the spiral peels through the lower strip. Gives the 22-word line room to breathe.

D · Action-hero — the CTA owns the square
Flip the emphasis: New project takes the golden square, header demoted to the next square. Tests "make the primary action the visual anchor."

E · Coarse — stop the spiral early
Only two cuts → three big squares (welcome · how · everything-else). Keeps the golden rhythm but stays legible — the pragmatic Fibonacci.
